It's the time you've all been waiting for, the final judgement! Root for Sakura, she'll need all the support she can get! This one is going to be quite long as well.
Chapter 25: Final Judgement
Sakura stared in shock at the little creature that was surrounded by golden aura as it strode over to her.
"There was a reason why I didn't say goodbye, Sakura."
"Eevee-chan...?" Sakura said in complete shock.
"The one and only." Eevee said with a smile.
"But, we thought you-" Floatzel stammered as Lucario looked at him in shock.
Sakura stood speechless as she stared at Eevee. Finally, she rushed over to him and enveloped him in a big hug.
"Eevee-chan!" Sakura sobbed as she hugged Eevee.
"It's only been a day, Sakura." Eevee said with a smile as Sakura shook her head.
"B-but, I thought you were gone!" Sakura said as she noticed the strange golden aura surrounding Eevee. Eevee noticed this and chuckled.
"The truth is, I was never sent by Ho-oh..." Eevee said as wings sprouted from his back and enveloped his body.
Sakura stared in awe as Eevee's body glowed with a magnificent light as it started taking on a totally different form. Once the light faded, Sakura was no longer looking at Eevee or one of his evolutions, but Ho-oh.
"... Because I am Ho-oh!" Ho-oh said as he spread out his magnificent rainbow colored wings.
"What...?" Sakura said in surprise.
"Wait just a minute! Why didn't you say anything?!" Floatzel shouted.
"If Sakura would've known that I was there all this time, she would've been nervous and wouldn't have been able to concentrate as well as she had when I just came to her as Eevee." Ho-oh explained as Floatzel grunted.
"I see, so that's why in my dream, there was something familiar about Ho-oh... Thanks, Ho-oh-chan!" Sakura said as Ho-oh smiled.
"You were Ho-oh all this time?! Then why were you in such a weak form?!" Paul shouted as Ho-oh glared at him.
"Power can come in all shapes and sizes... But I guess you could not possibly understand that." Ho-oh said as Paul glared at him.
Sakura looked back at Ho-oh and noticed something seemed to be troubling him as a cold breeze swept past her.
"Ho-oh-chan, what did you mean by he showing up?" Sakura asked.
"Lugia... The other Guardian..." Ho-oh said as Sakura looked at him in in confusion.
"Ho-oh, the advocate, represents the sun, was the on the front cover of the book, while Lugia, the judge, represents the moon, was on the back of the book. Is this news to you?" Paul explained.
"But there wasn't anything on the back... But what does he judge?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know!" Paul shouted.
"And here, we thought you knew everything..."
Paul whirled around to see a man with spiky red hair with a long flowing black cape, accompanied by another man with spiky blond hair and a girl with blue hair.
"Who are you?!" Paul demanded.
"We were the ones observing your progress from the beginning!"
Sakura glanced up and gasped when she saw Palmer, Buck, and Brendan standing a little higher up on Tokyo Tower, the same as her dream.
"So you're saying that you were watching us from the shadows?!" Lucario said.
"I guess you can say that, but I'm surprised you actually accepted another human, Lucario." Palmer said as Lucario gritted his teeth.
"Why are they talking as if they weren't human?" Tomoyo asked nervously.
"It's because they aren't..." Ho-oh said.
Sakura faced them and recalled in her first dream that there were these dog and bird creatures at Tokyo Tower and then the next dream showed her people instead.
"We just took on these forms so we could hide our aura and blend in with society." Buck said.
"Our job was to observe the progress of the captures of the Sealed Pokemon..." Lance said as he glanced over at Paul. "I have also witnessed how you abandoned Chimchar and how cruelly you have treated your Pokemon... In that case, you don't have the right skills to become a Pokemon Master."
"What?! Who are you to decide that?! All of my Pokemon are strong!" Paul shouted.
"I am only speaking of what I think, it is not my place to make the final decision." Lance said.
"Then... who makes the final decision?" Sakura asked.
"... Our master..." Brendan said glancing over at Yukito.
Sakura looked over at Yukito, who was still asleep, on the bench and was confused on what Brendan meant.
Suddenly, five chinese symbols appeared on the ground. Each symbol glowed a different color and were all linked together somehow.
"What's going on?!" Sakura said.
"Representatives, please step forward to you symbol." Ho-oh said.
Torterra moved to the far corner where a green Chinese symbol shone as Floatzel moved to the left of him on the blue symbol. Lucario took his place on the silver symbol, while Tyranitar moved onto the golden symbol. Ninetails was the last to move onto the red symbol as Ho-oh flew over them.
"Have you all accepted someone as the nominee?" Ho-oh asked.
"Yes!" all of them said at the same time as Ho-oh turned to Sakura.
"Now... are you ready?" Ho-oh asked.
Sakura looked at him confused as the symbols suddenly started shining brightly and all of the Representatives disappeared.
"What happened to them?!" Sakura cried as the wind started to pick up and the full moon was shone brightly in the night sky.
"The last judgement... is about to begin..." Lance said as Yukito's body was surrounded by silver aura and seemed to be levitating off the bench.
"Yukito-san?!" Sakura cried as she watched giant silver wings sprout out of Yukito's back and envelop his body, creating a bright light.
Once the light faded, a giant silver dragon-like bird creature stood before her where Yukito just was.
"Who...?" Sakura said she
"Lugia..." Ho-oh said.
"He's... Lugia... Then, where'd Yukito-san go?!" Sakura looking around.
"Yukito... He was Lugia-sama." Brendan said as Sakura looked at him in utter shock.
"Long time no see, Ho-oh." Lugia said.
"I have been caught off guard. The Guardians of the Sealed Pokemon are always close to the owner of the Sealed Pokemon. You've been at Sakura's side the whole time as a friend of her big brother, Toya. You've been hiding all traces of your powers until you were back in your original form... While Sakura and The Skull's descendant were collecting the Pokemon, I was regaining my powers, bit by bit. Of course, I had become more and more able to sense the Moon. But, no matter how much you hid your presence... to think that I didn't know for all this time, with you so close to us... Lugia, the other Guardian the Sir Aaron nominated as my opposite." Ho-oh said.
"W-wait a minute! I don't get it at all! What does this mean?!" Sakura said as Lugia hovered over to her.
"Simple. I am the same as Ho-oh. I didn't have enough power to change back into my original form." Lugia said as he narrowed his eyes at Sakura.
"Then, Tsukishiro-san is..." Tomoyo started.
"... The disguise for the other Guardian. Very good." Palmer said.
Lugia brought his face closer to Sakura's to get a good look at her, making her cringe slightly.
"Little girl... this is the first time we've met in this form... She who the advocate Ho-oh chose as the new Pokemon Master." Lugia said darkly.
"Yukito-san..." Sakura mumbled as Lugia raised his gaze up to Paul.
"However, it seems that there is another who wields the Sealed Pokemon." Lugia said as Paul narrowed his eyes at him.
"For someone who could not gather all of the Sealed Pokemon by herself... Final Judgement is a waste of time." Lugia said as Sakura widened her eyes in horror.
"No! I believe that Sakura will be able to do something about you!" Ho-oh said.
"Soft-hearted as usual, Ho-oh." Lugia said.
"And you're as cynical as always." Ho-oh shot back as Lugia put his gaze back on Sakura.
"Then, we will begin... The last Judgement..." Lugia said through narrowed eyes as he took off into the air.
"What's going on?! I collected all of the items and the Sealed Pokemon, right? Shouldn't it be all right?! What is the Last Judgement?!" Sakura cried in confusion as Ho-oh's gaze lifted up to Lugia.
Suddenly, Lance, Volkner, Marina, Palmer, Buck, and Brendan's bodies started to glow as they took on a totally different shape and size. Once the light faded, Sakura gasped at the sight of three dog creatures and three bird creatures.
'Just like the dream...' Sakura thought.
"First..." Lugia said as his eyes started to glow with a blue light.
Paul suddenly gasped as his eyes went blank as Lugia lifted him up into the air.
"Shinji-kun?!" Sakura gasped as she watched him float in mid-air and was set gently on the roof of a nearby shrine.
"Huh?" Paul said when he came back to his senses.
"I, Lugia, the Judge, will now conduct the last judgement. Using all of the Pokemon in your possession, defeat me." Lugia said as Paul got out a Pokeball.
Paul's eyes widened when Lugia whipped a might wind at him, knocking him off his feet, making him fall flat on his back.
"Shinji-kun!" Sakura cried as she rushed forward, when she suddenly his an invisible wall. "What? What is this?!"
"Shinji-kun!" Sakura cried as she pounded her fists on the barrier.
"During the last judgement, no one can lend a helping hand." Ho-oh said.
"Impossible!" Sakura said.
"Staraptor, use Brave Bird!" Paul commanded as Staraptor's body became enveloped in flames as it shot towards Lugia.
An explosion erupted and Paul shielded his eyes. "Did I get him?"
Paul's eyes widened in shock as Staraptor fell to the ground and Lugia still stood, unscathed.
"You cannot defeat me with such a pitiful excuse for a Pokemon." Lugia said.
"Dammit!" Paul said as he recalled Staraptor and got out an empty pokeball.
"It's useless." Lugia said as his body started to glow and shot forward.
"AHHH!!" Paul shouted as Lugia hit him with a powerful Sky Attack.
Lugia turned around and used Extransensory on him, causing pain to shoot through his body. Lugia then attacked again with Ancientpower, sending a rock with weird symbols on it right at Paul, knocking the wind out of him.
Paul struggled to his feet as Lugia hovered over to him.
"I'm surprised that you were even able to capture some of the Sealed Pokemon with such weak attempts!" Lugia said.
"I'll show you weak! Weavile, use Blizzard!" Paul strained as he called out Weavile.
Weavile came out, but didn't react, much to Paul's surprise.
"What are you doing?! Use Blizzard!" Paul shouted as Weavile turned around with glowing blue eyes.
"Weavile is both ice and dark, both elements that are under my symbol." Lugia said as Paul was frozen with fear.
"This seems to be the end." Lugia said darkly as Weavile lunged at Paul with its claws out in front.
"AAAHHHHHH!!" Paul's shout echoed through the area.
Sakura gasped when she heard this as Paul's body floated back down and collapsed onto the ground.
"Shinji-kun!" Sakura cried seeing how badly beaten he was.
"Th-they're all gone... He took them all..." Paul grunted as he weakly pushed himself onto his hands and knees.
"What are?" Sakura asked.
"My Pokemon..." Paul said through gritted teeth as he struggled to his feet and wavered once he made it.
"...He's... really powerful..." Paul managed before collapsing back down onto the ground due to exhaustion.
"So now, we have the official candidate..." Lugia said as his eyes started to glow again as Sakura's eyes went blank and was lifted up into the air.
"Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo cried as Sakura disappeared.
Sakura was gently placed on the roof overlooking Tokyo Tower. Lugia flew up over Tokyo Tower as Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres started to circle the tower's top as Entei, Raikou, and Suicune let out a mighty roar.
'It's the same... It's the same as my dream!' Sakura thought in shock.
"Pokemon of the far reaches of the world, there is one wishing to become your master. A girl chosen by the advocate, Ho-oh. Her name is Sakura..." Lugia said as his eyes lit up again as the eye of Sakura's staff started to shine brightly.
"To see if she is truly worthy of being our master, I, Lugia, the Judge, will now conduct the last judgement." Lugia said.
OOOOOOO
"Had Tsukishiro-san known all along that Sakura-chan was collecting the Sealed Pokemon?" Tomoyo asked.
"No, that can't be the case. Lugia is the judge. He completely cuts all ties between his disguise and his consciousness so that the candidate doesn't sense him until the final judgement." Ho-oh said.
"Then..." Tomoyo started.
"Yukito had been living his life, thinking that he was an ordinary human. Unlike me or the the observers, who knew who we really were." Ho-oh said.
"What happened to the Representatives?" Tomoyo asked.
"They were taken away for the Final Judgement, so Sakura cannot be given any help... You may or may never see them again..." Ho-oh said as Tomoyo gasped.
OOOOOOO
Suddenly, all of the Sealed Pokemon in Sakura's staff appeared before her in suspended animation in bubble-like capsules.
"Now, use the Sealed Pokemon that you obtained... and defeat me." Lugia said spreading his wings.
"Impossible... I... Can't do such a thing!" Sakura cried.
Lugia looked at her emotionlessly as his eyes started to glow.
"Bounce."Lugia ordered.
Sakura's eyes lit up as well and stepped over onto the edge of the building she was standing on as Grumpig's capsule floated down to her.
"Bounce..." Sakura said unconsciously as she brought her staff down on Grumpig and springs appeared from under her feet.
"Yuki...to... san..." Sakura mumbled.
"Sakura!" Ho-oh called out, but fell deaf to Lugia's control.
Sakura then started to jump over buildings, still in Lugia's control, as she made her way up to Tokyo Tower. With one final jump, Sakura collapsed onto the story where Lugia was on Tokyo Tower.
"Now, I will proceed with the last judgement." Lugia said.
"You can't!" Sakura cried as she slowly rose to her feet. "I can't fight against you, Lugia-san..."
Lugia narrowed his eyes in frustration as Sakura went on.
"You're different now... but... You're still Yukito-san!" Sakura said with tears stinging her eyes.
Lugia struck out at her with one of his wings, sending her flying backwards, almost over the edge of the tower. Lugia then flew up into the air and sent a glowing stone at Sakura, causing a great explosion.
Sakura flew out of the smoke using Swellow's Fly and flew around the corner, away from Lugia.
"You can't win against me just by running away." Lugia said as he flew after her.
A shadow fell against Sakura and she looked up to see Lugia flying beside her as he prepared another Ancient Power.
Explosions erupted all over the edge of Tokyo Tower and Sakura was flung up into the air from the blast. Sakura looked in time to see Lugia flying straight at her and then hit her with a Sky Attack, sending her back into one of the beams of Tokyo Tower. Sakura was still not fighting back and Lugia continued knocking her against one beam to another. Lugia sent another Aeroblast at her, causing her whole body to feel pain.
"AAAAHHHHHHH!!" Sakura cried.
"Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo cried in horror, seeing her friend get hurt.
"There's nothing we can do... But I'm sure that Sakura will be able to convince Lugia... I believe in Sakura." Ho-oh said glancing up at Tokyo Tower.
Sakura was panting hard and struggled to her feet as Lugia hovered across from her.
"If you're not going to fight with all of your powers, this is the end." Lugia said as he prepared a final blow with an Aeroblast.
"Something... I have to do something... A Pokemon that won't hurt Lugia-san..." Sakura muttered while staring at the ground.
An idea struck her and she called out Meganium's Vine Whip.
"NO!!" Ho-oh shouted, but it was too late.
Vines shot out of Sakura's staff and were headed straight towards Lugia. Lugia's eyes lit up again and the vines stopped dead in their tracks. Sakura gasped as Lugia abandoned his attack as the vines started going towards Sakura. Sakura tried to run, but one of the vines grabbed hold of her foot and soon her body was bound by vines.
"Meganium is a grass type, an element under the moon..." Lugia said as Sakura weakly lifted her head up to him.
"You didn't even know that much? I guess this is it..." Lugia said.
Sakura looked at him with fear and uncertainty in her eyes as Lugia stared at her with cold, emotionless eyes.
"You have lost." Lugia said.
"I... lost...?" Sakura mumbled.
"Yes. You have lost, and the seal of the Sealed Pokemon will be released once again..." Lugia said as he narrowed his eys.
"And this world will fall to disaster..."
"What is the disaster? What is going to happen?" Sakura asked.
"... To forget." Lugia said as Sakura gasped.
"If the next candidate for Master that Ho-oh, the advocate, chose cannot win against Lugia, the judge, then each and every person that had to do anything with the Sealed Pokemon will loose their feelings of love towards the one person they care about most." Lugia said gravely.
"What?!" Tomoyo gasped.
"The Sealed Pokemon care most about the one who captured them. So, if they're not fit to be Master of the Sealed Pokemon they will forget about the the feelings they have for the person they care about the most, so it wouldn't be too hard for them." Ho-oh said grimly.
'Forget..? So everyone will forget their feelings towards the people they love most..? Me too..?' Sakura thought as an image of Yukito flashed in her mind.
'I'll forget too..?' Sakura thought to herself as tears ran down her face.
Sakura gripped her staff tighter as she started to slowly struggled against the vines' grip.
"That's..." Sakura mumbled as she began to move. Lugia looked at her in astonishment.
"That just cannot... be right!" Sakura cried as she shot forward towards Lugia, but was held back by the vines before she made it all the way to him.
Sakura struggled with all her might, but the vines still had a firm grip on her.
"To think you could try to disable the attack that was turned on you..." Lugia said with a slight hint of amusement on his face as Sakura tried desperately to get out of the vines' clutches.
"But, I won't loose to someone like you." Lugia said as his eyes lit up again and the more vines started to envelop Sakura's body.
Sakura gasped as the vines weaved around her body, binding her legs and arms together.
"Only Sir Aaron can defeat me." Lugia said through narrowed eyes as Sakura was fully encased in vines.
"She lost..." Suicune said sadly.
"Dammit..." Raikou cursed as Entei looked on with a tiny flicker of sadness in his eyes, while Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres watched on without a sense of care or emotion.
Tomoyo put a hand over her mouth in sadness as Ho-oh watched in defeat with a glimmer of regret in his eyes while Paul finally opened his eyes and looked at the battle raging overhead.
"Idiot..." Paul muttered.
'No... Everyone... will forget... the people they love...' Sakura mumbled in her head as she slowly drifted into unconsciousness.
'...Forget...'
Sakura soon found herself back at home, but something was different. She looked over at her desk to see that the flower she found on her windowsill was gone, like it was never there. When she went downstairs, Toya just gave her a casual 'morning' and didn't even call her a monster. She also noticed that the picture of her mother wasn't on the table when she was about to say good morning to it. As she skated towards school, she looked at the spot where Yukito used to be, but no one was there.
At school, Tomoyo just gave her a casual hello and walked away towards class.
"Class will begin soon!" Tomoyo said with a smile.
"Y-yeah..." Sakura said.
When Sakura entered the classroom, she noticed how Chiharu and Yamazaki didn't seem to acknowledge each others' existance and said that they didn't know each other that well, which shocked Sakura.
Ruka came in the classroom and Sakura greeted him happily.
"Morning." Ruka said casually, much to Sakura's surprise, considering he would always stammer when he would talk to her.
All through the day, Sakura felt distant from her friends and felt somehow left out. When school ended, Tomoyo didn't even bother to walk home with her.
As she walked home, she bumped into someone. The person's cap fell to the ground and Sakura bent down and picked it up. She then recognized it as Lucario's.
"Lucario-san...?" Sakura muttered as she looked up to see a regular boy.
"That's not my name. I don't even know you." the boy said as he took the hat and walked away.
He was even wearing the same jacket Lucario wore at the picnic. Sakura watched him go with hurt and confusion and ran off.
She then found herself at a familiar house and looked around, seeing if she could find anyone, but found no one and walked into a forest.
"Nobody is here." Sakura said as tears streamed down her face.
"Sakura-chan..."
Sakura flinched hearing Tomoyo's voice call out to her. She then heard Eevee and Toya call out her name. Followed by Chiharu, Naoko, and Rika. Sakura then heard her father call out to her and then Buizel. She also heard Turtwig, Larvitar, and Vulpix. She then heard Lucario call out to her and finally she heard a familiar voice she hadn't heard in a while.
'Kohaku-chan...' Sakura said.
Sakura then found herself in a cherry blossom forest and spotted someone standing under a cherry blossom, his back facing her.
"He's... he's..." Sakura tried to remember.
A ringing noise suddenly rang out and Sakura smiled in realization.
"That's right... he's..." Sakura said as she ran towards him.
"The person that I have..." Sakura started as Yukito turned around and smiled.
"... The most feelings for!" (groans...)
The vines encasing Sakura suddenly flew apart, releasing Sakura from its grip. Lugia flew back, with pure shock in his eyes.
"She stopped them?!" Lugia said in shock.
Sakura climbed down the vines and looked to see a small creature floating before her.
"Who are you?" Sakura asked.
"I am Jirachi."
"Jirachi?" Sakura said.
"I'm glad you figured it out." Jirachi said with a smile.
"Where did you come from?" Sakura asked as Jirachi pointed at her staff.
"I was dormant inside the Life Orb until the time came when I was needed. I was put in the Life Orb so that you could get one last chance." Jirachi said as Sakura blinked in confusion.
"You won't be able to restart again." Jirachi said.
"Alright!" Sakura said confidentially as she turned and faced Lugia.
"It's too sad to see a world where your feelings for the person you care about most are gone!" Sakura said as Lugia stared at her, waiting for her to react.
"I'll do my best right now!" Sakura announced holding up her staff. "I'm sure something will come of this. I know it will be all right!"
The eye of Sakura's staff started to shine brightly as did Jirachi, making Lugia look at them in surprise.
"Now, release the seals!" Jirachi said as Sakura held up her staff to the sky.
Suddenly, shooting stars started falling across the sky as Sakura's staff shone brighter.
"What is this?!" Lugia demanded looking around frantically.
"A new power." Jirachi replied as he disappeared.
"Release!" Sakura commanded as the staff started to absorb the stars' energy.
Sakura's staff suddenly transformed, where the head of the staff had a star in the middle with two small wings on the side.
"That's not possible!" Paul shouted.
"The staff... transformed?!" Ho-oh said in disbelief.
"Twister!" Sakura commanded as a whirling wind came from her new staff.
"That's useless. The Dragon element is also under my-" Lugia said as his eyes lit up.
But Lugia's attempts were useless as the twister kept on its course and bound Lugia with powerful winds.
"Impossible!" Lugia shouted as he trashed around furiously, but the winds kept him from moving.
He was then set down in front of Sakura.
"Lugia-san, I'm sure that you really looked up to Sir Aaron. I know I'm still just a kid and I can hardly do anything. But, I always try my best!" Sakura said as she walked over to Lugia and held out her arms to him.
Lugia looked up at her in confusion as Sakura went on.
"I don't want to be your master... I want to be your friend." Sakura said with a smile.
Lugia stared at her without emotion and then stood up.
"Close your eyes." Lugia said.
"Hoe?" Sakura said.
"Hurry up." Lugia said in a more annoyed tone as Sakura quickly did as she was told.
"The judgement is complete. I, Lugia, the judge, acknowledge Sakura as our new Master." Lugia said as he spread out his wings.
Sakura soon found herself in a starry world. When suddenly, she felt someone approach. She opened her eyes and looked over to see a man with a dark blue cape in an old looking outfit and also wielded a staff with a blue gem in the middle.
"You're..?!" Sakura exclaimed.
"I'm glad you were able to make it through the challenges I left for you and were able to bring this story to a happy ending." Sir Aaron said with a kind smile.
"Can it be... are you Aaron-san?" Sakura said as he nodded.
"Oh, then you made this staff as well, Aaron-san...?" Sakura started.
"No, you created that staff with your own power. That staff in which the power of your own star and not of the sun and moon. Even if it's a faint light now, the power of the stars is one that continues to shine on its own." Sir Aaron said.
"What did you mean by challenges?" Sakura said as she glanced up from her staff.
"Well, Lugia for one instance and Lucario as the main challenge." Sir Aaron said as Sakura looked at him in surprise.
"I knew he would be greatly impacted this, but I did it for his own good. But I knew you would be able to get past this and befriend him. But something has happened that I didn't expect..." Sir Aaron said.
"What?" Sakura said.
"That is for another time... Anyways, take care of that power... the power of your own star." Sir Aaron said as Sakura felt her eyes be forcefully shut.
Sakura opened her eyes to find herself back in her own world and sighed.
"HEY!!"
Sakura looked behind her to see Lucario, Tomoyo, and the rest of the Representatives rushing over to her.
"Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo called out.
"I did it!" Sakura cried out in happiness as she rushed over to them.
Out of happiness, Sakura grabbed hold of Lucario's paws and started to swing him around. This caught Lucario off guard as he was spun around in circles. Sakura's grip slipped, accidentally dropping Lucario flat on his back.
"Ugh..." Lucario groaned as he sat up and rubbed his head.
"I'm sorry, Lucario-san." Sakura said putting her hands together, begging for forgiveness.
Lucario looked up at her and smiled. Sakura looked at him in surprise, then returned the smile.
"Awww, such a cute moment!" Tomoyo said as she videotaped.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!" Lucario shouted as his face went slightly red as Sakura just smiled nervously, not knowing what was going on while the other representatives started laughing.
"Peh, I'm getting out of here." Paul said as he started walking away.
"Shinji-kun..." Sakura said as Paul looked back at her.
"Don't worry. You won't be seeing me anytime soon." Paul said as disappeared into the distance.
Behind the corner, Toya was watching. He smiled seeing how his sister did and sighed.
"So, you were with her the whole time."
Toya whirled around to see Lance, Volkner, and Marina.
"Well, yeah." Toya said looking back at Sakura.
"You knew that Yukito wasn't human?" Lance asked as Toya nodded.
Lugia was watching from afar, and Ho-oh came flew over to him.
"And now, Sakura has happily become the new master." Ho-oh said.
"But it's impossible for a power of that level to completely control not only the Pokemon, but also their guardians." Lugia said.
"Yeah. It looks like we should be in our disguises for a while longer." Ho-oh said.
Lugia looked away and flew up into the air as Ho-oh followed. Their bodies started glowing and let their wings cover their bodies. Once the light faded, Eevee ran over to Sakura.
"Sakura!" Eevee called.
"Eevee-chan! I did it!" Sakura said happily then paused when she saw Yukito.
Yukito was looking up at the cherry blossom, then looked over at Sakura. Sakura looked at him uneasily, wondering if it really was Yukito.
But then was reassured when he gave her the kind smile he always gave her. Lucario glared at him as Sakura smiled, knowing everything turned out all right.
To be continued...
Well, if you've seen the anime or the manga, you probably already knew what was going to happen. And yep, what Paul says is true, you won't be seeing him anytime soon. Anyways, hope you enjoyed it! Please Review!
